Despite protests from outraged fans outside People's New York headquarters after last year's anointing of Bradley Cooper ("Cooper doesn't even have a dog!" one protester's sign read), the celeb weekly once again snubbed the inhumanly hot Gosling. Did they not see his glistening pecs during the Dirty Dancing re-enactment scene in Crazy, Stupid, Love? Does The Notebook sex scene mean nothing to them? Is it unclear that he literally saves lives?

Even sexy woman Rihanna has endorsed Tatum over Gosling, much to our chagrin. We're beginning to feel this is a calculated PR strategy to build the anticipation for Gosling's appointment so high, some people actually faint when he is announced as next year's SMA, and appears artfully nude on the cover. (Just a suggestion.)

To be clear, we have nothing against CT. We were not immune to the motion of his pelvis during the Magic Mike stripping scene set to Ginuwine's My Pony. As one Cosmo staffer quipped this morning, "I wouldn't mind waking up to him." But there is only one Ryan Gosling, people/People, and at this point, we suspect he is quietly building a dream house in South Carolina, just waiting for a certain magazine to show up on his doorstep.
